4. Candidates are not matched to an
institution not selected by the candidate.
5. Preferences are decided by the
applicant in private and the ranking is confidential.
6. No pressure or salesmanship is applied
on the selection day.
7. The institutional rankings are
confidential.
8. All choices are considered
simultaneously.
9. Unmatched applicants will be
immediately notified by VIRMP.
10. The cooperating institutions can place
limitations on the number of applicants they will accept from one school. This
will assure a greater representation of universities in the hospital programs.
Responsibilities
Both applicants and institutions,
following the submissions of their rankings, are fully committed to the results
of the matching program. The institutions and the applicants are not allowed to
negotiate separately. The candidate does not have to divulge his/her rankings.
A request by the institution for such ranking is a violation of the code, and
should be reported to the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians.
Final Completion of Selection Process
Following the completion of the matching
process, the institution and the candidates will be notified via email to sign
into the website to get their match. The institution will also contact all
successful applicants to confirm starting dates and formalize the agreement.
Publication of Matched and Unmatched
Candidate Names
The VIRMP will publish two rosters
following the completion of the match as listed below:
(a) A list of all matched candidates and
the program to which they were matched.
(b) A list of all unmatched candidates,
including their address, telephone number, and type of program to which they
applied.
These lists will be mailed to all
participating institutions immediately following the match and to other
institutions or practices requesting the list, after a waiting period of 10
business days. The purpose of publishing the list of unmatched candidates is to
facilitate the placement of as many candidates as possible into training
programs.
